Aspect of the external environment of an organization

/in /by

Your assignment should be a minimum of 2-3 pages in length. You are required to use APA formatting and you are required to cite and reference your sources. There should be a minimum of two reputable sources cited and referenced in your paper. Follow assignment requirements ASSIGNMENT For purposes of the Module 2 SLP, once again consider yourself to be an expert in the field of Strategic Management. In this assignment, you will blog about some aspect of the external environment of an organization, providing examples based on current events you have found in a recent article in a trade journal, newspaper, or magazine (e.g., the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Business Week, or Forbes). Hint: Visit either ProQuest or EBSCO-Business Source Complete in the library. Choosing an industry that is of interest to you, find a recent article related to how one or more of Porter’s Five Forces or PESTLE have impacted your chosen industry. You may want to type in a specific force as a key word (e.g., Social, Economic, Legal, Threat of Entry, Competitive Rivalry, Suppliers, Buyers, etc.). Be sure to click on “Trade Publications,” “Newspapers,” and/or “Magazines”. You may also select a specific company and discuss how a force (or forces) in the remote or industry environment have (for better or worse) affected that company. For example, you might find a recent article related to how the fiercely competitive nature (one of Porter’s Five Forces) within the soda industry has affected the market share of such major company players as Coca-Cola or Pepsico. Or you might find an article that evaluates how a new law or regulation (in the remote environment) has impacted the healthcare industry. Remember that you are playing the role of a Strategic Management blogger, who is conveying to the public how environmental forces (whether remote environment or industry environment forces) are affecting a particular industry. Your main article(s) for your blog entry must be no older than 12 months. You may, of course, use older sources to support your discussion and analysis, however, the current event article serving as the main focus of your paper must be no more than 12 months old.

Create a credit risk model using logistic regression

/in /by

Create a credit risk model using logistic regression to estimate the probability of people who have leased cars, to be late in their payments (default) and then investigate specifically what are the factors that make people be late in their payments (default). WRITE a relevant literature review. There are no many articles with credit risk modeling or probability of default in the leasing industry, so you can write generally about credit modeling and probability of default (POD) or probability of bad (POB) payers. Include as many articles as you can find on probability of default models with regards to the leasing industry. Also, please focus on the papers that use logistic regression as the method to estimate a probability of default/probability of bad. It is important that you mention what factors are most likely to affect the probability to default/bad or to be late in a payment according to the authors of the papers you will include. Bear in mind that this is a literature review request, don’t include any introduction or conclusions.

Market Structure and Game Theory

/in /by

Description Module 3 – Case MARKET STRUCTURE AND GAME THEORY Assignment Overview As always, make sure to thoroughly review the required background materials before starting the assignments. The assignment questions will require you to do some calculations and also apply the concepts from the module. Question 3 differs from previous assignments in that you have to use an online simulation tool; but this activity should be a fun break from the standard numerical problems you have been doing. Case Assignment 1. 1. For this problem use the Herfindahl Index to compute market concentration: a. Suppose Apple has 45% of the U.S. market share for smartphones, followed by Samsung with 30%, LG with 9%, Motorola with 8%, HTC with 6%, and Nokia with 2%. What is the Herfindahl Index for the smartphone industry based on these numbers? Based on the Herfindahl Index, do you think the government would be willing to approve a merger between Apple and Samsung? b. Now suppose Nokia and Motorola come out with a new smartphone that takes away a huge chunk of market share from Apple and Samsung. The new market shares are 25% for Apple, 20% for Samsung, 20% for Motorola, 20% for Nokia, 10% for LG, and 5% for HTC.

2. Use what you learned about perfect competition, monopoly, and oligopoly to answer these questions: a. In the table below is the quantity produced, the price, the fixed costs, and variable costs for a perfectly competitive firm that faces a constant price of $150 for its product regardless of the quantity it sells. Use the information in the first four columns to calculate the number for the last four columns. At what quantity should they produce based on what you find with your results? b. How do you think your answer might change if it became a monopolist with all of its competitors leaving the market? Or if it became an oligopoly with only one or two competitors? Quantity Price Fixed Cost Variable Cost Total Cost Marginal Cost Total Revenue Profit/ Loss 0 150 200 – – 1 150 200 $140 2 150 200 $240 3 150 200 $320 4 150 200 $410 5 150 200 $520 6 150 200 $650 7 150 200 $810 8 150 200 $1,010 8/17/20199 150 200 $1,310 10 150 200 $1,710 3. 3. You’ve read about the prisoner’s dilemma in the background readings. Suppose you are a business owner with just one main competitor. If neither you nor your competitor cut your prices, you will both be more profitable. However, if your competitor lowers its prices and you keep your prices high, then you will lose all of your sales to your competitor. Every month you and your competitor place advertisements in the local newspaper with your price – so you need to decide each month whether or not to keep prices high, or lower them based on what you think your competitor might do. Go to the following webpage and test out some of your potential price strategies: http://www.gametheory.net/Mike/applets/PDilemma/Pdilemma.html The strategy “defect” indicates lowering your prices. The strategy “cooperate” means keep prices the same. Try out different strategies, such as cooperating all the time or defecting sometimes. There are five different rounds of this game, each with a competitor with different personalities and different strategies. Play all five rounds and experiment with different strategic approaches. Report your scores for each round, and discuss which strategies seemed to work the best for you. Assignment Expectations • Answer the assignment questions directly. • Stay focused on the precise assignment questions. Do not go off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background materials. • For computational problems, make sure to show your work and explain your steps. • For short answer/short essay questions make sure to reference your sources of information with both a bibliography and in-text citations.
